Carlos Aguilar Variety “Ochi” prompts one to think, “How did they do that?” only to be even more incredulous when realizing the techniques employed. That’s film sorcery. Jan 31, 2025 Full Review Brian Tallerico RogerEbert.com It feels like a family film made by flesh-and-blood people in an era when computers are doing so much of the work. Rated: 3/4 Jan 29, 2025 Full Review Justin Lowe The Hollywood Reporter It’s evident that The Legend of Ochi’s production values far exceed what might be expected from a reported $10 million budget, and demonstrate that Saxon can deliver a fully realized vision of a highly original concept. Jan 27, 2025 Full Review Cody Dericks Next Best Picture Due to the screenplay’s shortcomings, the film’s conclusion feels unsatisfying and deflating. Rated: 5/10 Jan 31, 2025 Full Review Sean Boelman FandomWire The story of The Legend of Ochi may be a bit by-the-book, but Isaiah Saxon’s visual style is so unique and gorgeous that this adventure still stands out as a worthy homage to family classics. Rated: 7/10 Jan 30, 2025 Full Review James Preston Poole But Why Tho? A Geek Community The Legend of Ochi doesn’t reinvent the wheel, nor does it have to. It’s precisely what it needs to be — a heartfelt iteration of a classic narrative told in a lovingly handmade fashion. Rated: 8/10 Jan 30, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
